Architecture for Power

For me one of the most incredible places for its architecture is the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. Since I was a child, my attention has been called to get to know this place. Currently she turned 125 years to be created. The Eiffel Tower standing 300 meters high and the base is about 125 meters long. It was created in 1889 by Gustave Eiffel, it lasting two years to build and required the labor of 250 workers. It is built from wrought iron. 

This consists of 3 floors, and access it is through elevators or climbing stairs are approximately 1,665 steps. These painted three colors previously designed for the same and it painted every 7 years because they need about 60 tons of paint. It is hands painted and take about 18 months to complete. And it was the world’s largest for 41 years. In my opinion The Eiffel Tower is one of the most important buildings of modern architecture and engineering, and arguably the most important of all France.
